Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gravity rotation device (20) comprising: a first disc (21) comprising a central axis (AA') and at least one peripheral axis of rotation (BiBi') arranged some distance from and parallel to the central axis (AA'); at least one peripheral rotation shaft (26i) able to rotate about the peripheral rotation axis (BiBi'); and at least one mass support (27i) mounted on the peripheral rotation shaft (26i) and having a mass (Mi) that can be moved away from the rotation shaft (26i) in order to produce a turning moment that causes the rotation shaft (26i) and the first disc (21) to pivot. According to the invention, the device further comprises: reduction gearing arranged between the peripheral rotation shaft (26i) and the first disc (21); means for fixing at least one portion of the reduction gearing in a fixed position so as to prevent it from turning about the peripheral rotation axis; a free wheel arranged on the peripheral rotation shaft; and means for altering the angle of inclination of a mass support (27i) on the peripheral rotation shaft with respect to the horizontal passing through the peripheral axis of rotation of the shaft.
Abstract:
A marine vessel is propelled through water using a hydro-compress gas powered engine including a chamber having a hydropower motor in an upper section and a compressed gas motor in a lower section. In a first cycle of the engine water is introduced into the hydropower motor that driving a drives a crankshaft using the kinetic energy of falling water. Concurrently a portion of a compressed gas stored in a tank is introduced into the compressed gas motor.
Abstract:
An energy storage system comprises a cable (13) and a mass (20) suspended from the cable (13) in a shaft (12). The cable (13) is attached to a winch (11) by which the mass may be raised in the shaft (12) to store potential energy, and the mass is lowerable in the shaft (12) to release the potential energy. The mass comprises at least two sections clamped together around the cable (13). More particularly, the system comprising a plurality of cable (13) and a plurality of multi-section masses each suspended in the shaft (12) by a respective cable (13), the masses being raised and lowered in synchronism in the shaft (12). The multi-section masses fit together side-by-side in the shaft (12) to form an overall cylindrical mass body, the multi-section masses each forming a quadrant of the cylindrical mass body.
Abstract:
The invention relies on a low-cost process for the generation of electricity by utilising the dynamic energy of the water, which in this specific case is handled as a solid mass by use of the moving tank (1). Utilising natural outflows the tank (1) is filled with water at the highest position of the assembly, the brake (2) is released, and the tank performs a controlled descend with the help of guides. During the descend process the tank generates electricity using a hydraulic or a similar Kers system, is emptied through a valve (3), and returned to its original position by any suitable means. The cycle is repeated. According to the above, the invention constitutes an accessible, inexpensive and easily used method for electricity generation by way of handling the water as a solid mass (tank), and is not constrained by the area's geometry or the size of the outflow.
